    Not too terribly bad, Eric. You definitely get high marks for ambition :-) Looks like most of it was done in Photoshop though.

    You should check out Big Frank's Guest Tutorial, you might learn a thing or two.

    Lovely piece of scanning there eric, but I fail to see which part of the image, if any, you did in Xara.

    Since when did the word XARA X leave that kind of reflection in chrome? You'd have done better to leave the original UK number plate there, it would have looked more realistic...

    Hey, could you possibly post the .XAR file, it would be nice to see how it was made!

    "Lovely piece of scanning there eric..." ..............scanning? eh?

    I did'nt know one had to do ones work entirely in XARA X! i'm new to xara but i'm a PSP veteran, so i did as much as i could in xara and then used psp to do the rest, i still have the original "template [enc.] so when i get better i'll be able to do more as i learn. well i'm pleased with the results anyway. i'm not aiming for photorealism, i like the 'sketchy' look.

    Well, this is the <u>Xara</u> Gallery [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] !

    However, you're making good progress with your .xar file and I frankly wouldn't bother putting it through PSP any more (and you're talking to a Photoshop man, through and through). With a little more effort and patience you will be able to achieve stunning results without resorting to a raster app.

    However, if you really want to show off your PSP work, we do have a Paint Shop Pro forum here as well, you know [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
